You're missing a few. Also, some of those have closed. Because of these discrepancies this map is literally unusable.

Rules:
Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.
We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

Road trip?
Thinking more one hell of a pub crawl.
Meh, I reckon I could have a Guinness in each one before closing time.
How many of them are called The Winchester?
I don't know, but that's where I would go both to wait out the apocalypse and for a date.
2, if this is to be believed
Edit, and then 3 or 4 if THIS is to believed (and those other two appear to have moved from Burnley to Liverpool, and Islington to Highgate)
Why so empty on the northern part? Non British here.
The people who lived there were forcibly relocated to the colonies because the lairds worked out that it was more profitable to use the land for sheep than peasants.
Scotland is way less densely populated than England

damn bro the night life really is dying. Barely any pubs nowadays.
Nope, incomplete. Here's one at the tip of that peninsula-looking island that's left bare (Skye).
I'm curious now it there actually is a spot in the Hebrides or Highlands where you can be more than a day's walk from a pub.

It'll be interesting to remove the Red Lion and see the difference
I looked it up and thought it was a franchise at first, just very creative and varied about it. Some of them looked really nice, too.
Long long ago, pubs didn't have names but they just had signs. People would call the pub whatever was on the sign. "The King's Head" for pubs with a portrait of a king, "The Wheat Sheaf" for ones with a picture of some wheat or barley, etc.
Lots of old pubs displayed the Stuart coat of arms as a show of loyalty to King James I/VI and his heirs, which is a heraldic red lion. Hence why so many pubs have the same name even though they're all ancient and unrelated.

Looking at that blue line, OOP solved the traveling Irishman problem.
This is missing a few, there's more than that in the rural regions of Scotland.

I'd be interested to see the alcoholism rates over history compared to the US. That's a lot of pubs, but I have a feeling the rates are lower there.
Found a random graph that might tell part of the story. I've always heard that people drink more heavily in Europe than the US.

What’s the deal with the hole in the cloud of pins near the England / Scotland border?
it's actually one Big Super Pub that fills up the whole of Northumberland
Looks like it might be the North Pennines, which is basically a national park
Why does it include part of Ireland? That's a completely different country.
Assuming you are not trolling and actually curious, Northern Ireland is part of the UK since the Partition of Ireland in 1921.
i have terrible news, you've left the good timeline (the Easter-1916 timeline) and are in ours now
Does the Ottoman Empire still stand, brother?

North Scotland must be where people go to sober up.
